Tukaram, Poem 2400

A quilt of rags is not like other clothing, nor the beggar’s portion like other food. Seek your advantage as this rule directs you; consider well what religion requires. A temple is not a house, nor the servant of others a worldly man. The pleasures of righteousness are not pleasures of sense; nor is the name of Rama an ordinary word. It is no murder when the soldier does his duty, for he seeks no personal gain from the action. Tuka says, The saints have stored up a wealth of illustrations.
